Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.

On 3 November 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brooklyn Naval Hospital, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Brooklyn Naval Hospital treated almost a quarter of Union casualties during the American Civil War? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Brooklyn Naval Hospital. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

...of 8th Street / St. Mark's Place to 8th Street/St. Mark's Place. The space on either side of the virgule helps to show that it is not an actual combined name, but two names on the same article. If you want to open an RM on it on the talk page, fine, but please move it back first, per the reaming I recently got at AN for not doing exactly that.

Welcome to the third newsletter for the new Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
Two Growth team projects to be deployed in next two weeks
We will be deploying the "Understanding first day" and "Personalized first day" projects on Czech and Korean Wikipedias in the coming weeks. See the new project pages below for full details on the projects, and our project updates page for their progress.
Third Growth team project begins
Best practices for helping newcomers
We are going to direct newcomers to help desks. But what's the best way to reply to a newcomer there? We have gathered some best practices for successful interactions, based on community experiences and some external documentation. The page has also been reviewed by some experienced community members who suggested some changes. That page is now open for translations. Comments and suggestions are still welcome!
We are still looking for volunteers
Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.
Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!
Learn more about us
You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the projects we'll work on.

I have to say that these maps look pretty bad -- very amateurish. The border around the neighborhood is too thick, and one cannot see anything in the neighborhood - such as the main streets - because the coloring obscures everything. I urge you to stop replacing neighborhood maps, and undo the ones you've changed. If the maps are yours, then I suggest you try again, because this attempt was really not successful.

I see that you reduced the precision to the coordinates to three decimal places, and you added names to them. Can you please explain this? —Eli355 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
On 16 November 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article East Side Access, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the East Side Access railroad expansion in New York City has been estimated to cost about $3.5 billion per mile of new tunnel, seven times more than similar projects in other countries? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/East Side Access. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The article Mill Basin, Brooklyn you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Mill Basin, Brooklyn for things which need to be addressed.

Thanks for the fix reverting my edit at One Times Square. Uh, the ad-blocker had removed the word "advertising", leaving it as "repurposed as a location", which led to my mistaken change. Oops.

Thanks for uploading File:WA license plate 2011.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Under planned service changes, the date was reverted to December, so I don't know how we should deal with this.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:57, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
The article stated that 630,000 passengers use Penn Station.
And we already know the following: LIRR - 233,340 NJT - 93,305 Amtrak - 28,487 Subway - 200,000 = 555,132
Since 630,000 passengers use Penn station, 630,000-555,132 = gives us about 75,000 passengers who arrive and depart Penn station not using any of the above means. Which means they arrive by the only remaining way which are Buses. Mercenary2k (talk) 14:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
